revedres-proposal-and-commissioning

Use when writing the protocol, fixing scope and eligibility, and (where applicable) preregistering a systematic review or meta-analysis before searching, for a Review of Educational Research (RER) manuscript. Produces the a-priori plan; it does not run the search (revedres-literature-synthesis) or impose the conceptual spine (revedres-organizing-framework).

# Protocol & Preregistration (revedres-proposal-and-commissioning)

## When to trigger

- Topic selection cleared the four RER fit tests and it is time to lock the plan
- You are about to search but have not written down inclusion/exclusion rules
- You want a PROSPERO / OSF registration so the search is demonstrably a-priori
- A reviewer is likely to ask "were these inclusion rules set before or after you saw the results?"

## RER is SUBMITTED, not commissioned — the protocol replaces the commission

Annual Reviews *invite* their authors; **RER reviews are submitted and peer-reviewed**, so no editor pre-blesses your scope. The credibility that an invitation would have signaled must instead come from a **transparent, a-priori protocol**. For a systematic review or meta-analysis this is not optional polish — it is the difference between a synthesis and a fishing expedition. (RER occasionally publishes *solicited* analytic reviews of special topics, but the default and the bar is a strong unsolicited submission — 检索于 2026-06;以官网为准.)
